Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin presents survey results for each area studied. After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued. The first part brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents information which has been projected from individual m etropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the United States.

Ninety areas currently are included in the program. In each area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Utica—Rome, N.Y. in July 1968, conducted under a contract with the New York State Department of Labor. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Herkimer and Oneida Counties. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in New York, N. Y. , Herbert Bienstock, Director. The study was under the general direction of Thomas N. Wakin, Assistant Regional Director for Operations.

Area Wage Survey-----

The Utica—Rome, N.Y. Metropolitan Area

Introduction

This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of L abor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide b a s is .1 In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field econom ists to representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, comm unication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ices . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of w orkers are omitted because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupati.ons studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data, how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations selected for study are com m on to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) O ffice clerica l; (2) professional and technical;(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m ovement. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter establishment variation in duties within the same job . The occupations selected for study are listed and described in the appendix. The earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described , or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A -se r ie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possib ility of d isclosure of individual establishment data.

1 Inc luded in the 90 areas are four studies co n duc ted under co n tra c t w ith the New Yoric S tate D epartm en t of Labor. T hese areas are B ingham ton (New York po rtion only); R ochester (o ffice o c c u pations only); Syracuse; and U tic a —R om e. In add itio n , the Bureau conducts m ore l im ite d a rea studies in 91 areas a t the request of the W age and H our and P u b lic C ontracts D ivisions o f the U. S. D ep a rtm en t of Labor.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i .e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification . Earnings data exclude p re mium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-o f-liv in g allowances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office c ler ica l occupations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fpr which em ployees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtim e at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

The averages presented reflect com posite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estim ates for each job. The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in individual establishm ents. S im ilarly, differences in average pay lev els for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to re flect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishm ents. Other possible factors which may contribute to d ifferences in pay for men and women include: D ifferences in p rogression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected ; and differences in specific duties perform ed, although the w orkers are classified appropriately within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor d ifferences among establishments in the specific duties perform ed.

Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because of d ifferences in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational employment ob tained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative im portance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions

Information is presented (in the B -ser ie s tables) on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they relate to plant and office w orkers. Adm inistrative, executive, and professional em ployees, and construction w orkers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. "Plant w orkers" include

working forem en and all nonsupervisory w orkers (including lead- men and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. "O ffice w orkers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory w orkers perform ing c lerica l or related functions. Cafeteria w orkers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.

Minimum entrance salaries for women office w orkers (table B -l) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establishments are m ore likely to have form al entrance rates for w orkers above the subclerica l level than sm all establishm ents, the table is m ore-representative of policies in medium and large establishm ents.

Shift differential data (table B-2) are lim ited to plant w orkers in manufacturing industries. This inform ation is presented both in term s of (1) establishment policy , presented in term s of total plant worker employm ent, and (2) effective practice , presented in term s of w orkers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some late-sh ift hours are paid at norm al rates, a differential was recorded only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours.

The scheduled weekly hours (table B-3) of a m ajority of the first-sh ift w orkers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to all of the plant or o ffice w orkers of that establishment. Scheduled weekly hours are those which fu ll-tim e em ployees were expected to work, whether they w ere paid for at straight-tim e or overtim e rates.

Paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans; and prem ium pay for overtim e work (tables B -4 through B-7) are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -7 may not equal totals because of rounding.

Data on paid holidays (table B -4) are lim ited to data on h olidays granted annually on a form al basis; i .e ., (1) are provided for in written form , or (2) have been established by custom . Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday and the w orker is not granted another day off. The first

2 A n estab lish m en t was considered as hav ing a po licy if i t m e t e ith e r of the fo llow ing conditions: (1) O perated la te shifts a t the tim e of th e survey, or (2) had form al provisions coveringla te shifts. An estab lish m en t was considered as hav ing fo rm al provisions if i t (1) h a d o p e ra ted la te shifts during the 1 2 m onths p rio r to the survey, o r (2 ) h a d provisions in w ritte n form for op era ting la te shifts.

part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e.

The summary of vacation plans (table B-5) is lim ited to a statistical m easure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a m easure of the proportion of w orkers actually receiving specific benefits. Provisions of an establishment for all lengths of serv ice were tabulated as applying to all plant or o ffice w orkers of the establish ment, regardless of length of serv ice . Provisions for payment on other than a tim e basis w ere converted to a time basis; for exam ple, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 w eek's pay. Estim ates exclude vacation-savings plans and those which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans to w orkers with qualifying lengths of serv ice . Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.

Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6) include those plans for which the em ployer pays at least a part of the cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m ercia l insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by the em ployer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if the m ajority of em ployees was eligible to be covered under the plan, even if less than a m ajority elected to participate because em ployees were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. L egally required plans, such as w orkm en's com pensation, social se curity, and railroad retirem ent were excluded.

Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of insurance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly to the insured during illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey , which have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which require em ployer contributions,3 plans are included only if the em ployer (1) contributes m ore than is legally required, or (2) provides the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are lim ited to form al plans 4 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w ork er 's pay during absence from work because of illn ess. Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period , and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period . In addition to the presentation of the proportions of w orkers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of w orkers who receive either or both types of benefits.

The tem porary d isab ility laws in C a lifo rn ia and Rhode Island do no t require em p loyer con tributions.

A n estab lish m en t was considered as hav ing a fo rm al p lan if i t e stab lished a t le a s t the m in im u m num ber of days of sick leav e av a ila b le to e ac h em p loyee . Such a p lan need n o t be w ritte n , b u t in fo rm al sick le av e a llow ances, d e te rm in e d on an ind iv id ua l basis, w ere excluded .


Catastrophe insurance, som etim es referred to as m ajor m edical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect em ployees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans. M edical insurance re fers to plans providing for com plete or partial payment of d octo rs ' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by com m ercia l insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be paid for by the em ployer out of a fund set aside for this purpose. Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide regular payments for the remainder of the w ork er 's life.

Method of wage determination (table B-7) relates to basic types of rate structure for w orkers paid under various time and incentive system s. Under a single rate structure the same rate is paid to all experienced w orkers in the same job classification . An individual worker occasionally may be paid above or below the single rate

3

for special reasons, but such payments are exceptions. A ran ge-o f- rates plan specifies the minimum and/or maximum rate paid exp erienced w orkers for the same job . Information also is provided on the method of p rogression through the range. In the absence of a form al rate structure, the qualifications of the individual w orker determine the pay rate. Information on types of incentive plans is provided only for plant w orkers because of the low incidence of such plans for office w orkers. Under a piecew ork system , a predeterm ined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bonuses are based on production over a quota or com pletion of a job in less than standard time. C om pensation on a com m ission basis represents payments based on a percentage of value of sa les, or on a combination of a stated salary plus a percentage.

Data on frequency of wage payment also are provided in table B -7.
